Channel Selector

Although not in the Main Menu, when pressing the Mode Selector Button (Big button) against your
headrest the channel selector appears automatically if it was configured in the Appearances menu.
You may encounter this screen early in the setup process.

Select the computer mode by pressing the Mode Selector button (Big button) on the headset very
briefly and close channel selector by clicking ‘Back’.

When pressing the Mode Selector Button (Big button) against your headrest the channel selector
appears automatically if it was configured in the Appearances menu.

The headset can be used to control computers or to drive wheelchairs. There is a possibility to switch
between computer control and wheelchair drive channels. Therefore there are two types of ‘press’
the user can do with the Mode Selector.

1. Short press (a very quick press, about half a second) switches between active and inactive

modes of the chosen function – e.g. when in computer control mode, a short press activates
or deactivates the control of the mouse cursor.

2. Long press (about 2 seconds) switches between the channels or control functions – e.g.

switches between computer control and wheelchair control.

You can add further PCs or wheelchairs to control and you can switch between them.

Mouse Profile Editor

Here you can set up different profiles for yourself or multiple users. You can experiment with various
modes to find out which one is the best fit for you.

MOUSE MODE

I. Fixed Range (absolute mouse): This is the recommended mode to use. In this mode, the

cursor moves in a fixed range on the screen, in other words the screen’s field is the area
where the cursor’s movement makes sense. It can be imagined as the angle of head

turning necessary to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other. The

screen’s range is defined by the borders of the screen. This mode allows for the most

accurate and smooth operation, however the user can experience some shift over time
regarding the center position of the cursor due to the user’s movements.

II. Range free (relative mouse): In this mode the cursor’s movement is not restricted to the

borders of the screen; however the user will not see it moving outside of the screen. In
this mode cursor center position can be adjusted by trying to move the cursor beyond
the screen’s border. This mode of operation is not as accurate and smooth as the fixed
range, but more direct and some users prefer it over the other method.
